Day 1 of the unofficial second half of the 2015 Major League Baseball season is in the book and, in case you weren't paying attention during the All-Star Game, Mike Trout is the best baseball player on the planet. He is simply too good not to draft, regardless of the salary he is tagged with on any given day. Let that be the biggest takeaway from this entire column today, and you will be better off when playing in MLB DFS leagues than you were entering Saturday, July 18. Trust me.

The weather is not only wreaking havoc at The British Open Championship this weekend, as Mother Nature may play the role of spoiler to many MLB games throughout the day, with rain forecast for many of the contests. Hopefully, Taylor Swift will not continue to be a jinx for the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers but, you would be wise to check the latest radar maps before submitting your lineups today.
